OLD BUSINESS 5. (a) RZ-07-29: Technical Amendments to the Asheboro Zoning Ordinance (Kim Markham).

Amend Article 300A, Section 316A.C of the Asheboro Zoning Ordinance eliminating Design Standards in Industrial Districts.

Mayor Jarrell opened the public hearing on the following request.

Mr. Neely presented the staff’s analysis of the request by Kim Markham to amend Article 300A, Section 316A.C of the Asheboro Zoning Ordinance by eliminating the design standards for industrial districts.

The Planning Department Staff recommended that the design standards for industrial districts remain as currently stated in the Asheboro Zoning Ordinance with some modification rather than granting the Applicant’s request to eliminate the design standards for industrial districts. The staff feels that there should be a greater choice in building materials if additional screening and landscaping requirements are met. Staff recommends this option if the developer increases front yard landscaping and creates screening along the front yard, through streetscape features such as a planted berm and ornamental wall. “Staff proposes eliminating vinyl siding as a permitted building material in industrial zoning districts within 200 feet of a major or minor thoroughfare.” The Planning Board recommended denial of the request based on the following:

“…the current design standards were developed with much time, consideration and effort. Due to the large number of industrial properties that are affected by this Ordinance, any changes to the Ordinance must be weighed carefully to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare. The Planning Board does not feel requiring additional landscaping or non-building related design features is an appropriate solution to mitigate any negative effect created by building material choice.”

Mr. Kim Markham presented comments in support of the request.

After substantive discussion and upon motion by Mr. Crisco and seconded by Mr. Moffitt, Council voted unanimously to continue this item to the Council’s regular December meeting. In the

meantime, the Planning Department Staff will research the possibility in changing the designation of Southmont Drive from that of a minor thoroughfare in order to address the specific concerns raised by Mr. Markham.

(b) SUB-01-02: Heathwood Acres Phase III. Final Plat Approval. Mr. Neely presented the final plat for the proposed Heathwood Acres Phase III Subdivision. James Worth Heath requests final plat approval for Heathwood Acres Phase III. The property is located on Old Castle Drive and contains approximately 16.873 acres of land, consisting of 34 lots.

Mayor Jarrell opened the public hearing on the following request.

Mr. Neely affirmed his testimony and presented a written request from the Applicant to continue the above-referenced item to the Council’s regular December meeting.

Upon motion by Mr. Smith and seconded by Ms. Carter, Council voted unanimously to continue the above-reference item to the Council’s regular December meeting.

(b) RZ-07-32: Request to rezone from R-10/B-2 (Medium Density Residential and General Business) to O&I (Office and Institutional). The properties of L.L. Hinshaw Heirs and S. Francis are located on the southern side of East Balfour Avenue approximately 250 feet east of North Fayetteville Street and consists of approximately 1.93 acres of land. Randolph County Parcel Identification Numbers 7762067993, 7762077052, and 7762068953 more specifically describe the properties.

Mayor Jarrell opened the public hearing on the following request. Mr. Neely presented the staff’s analysis of the request by Piedmont Triad Ambulance and Rescue to rezone the above-described property from R-10/B-2 (Medium Density Residential and General Business) to O&I (Office and Institutional). The Planning Department Staff and the Planning Board recommended approval of the request based on the following:

“Although the land development plan’s proposed land use map identifies these properties as neighborhood residential, the requested zoning district of Office and Institutional is less intensive than the commercial land use west of the property on North Fayetteville Street and the residential uses to the east. The area is also characterized by a mix of land uses, including a school directly across East Balfour Avenue from the subject property and church use to the south of the property. Considering the request within the context of land uses in the area, staff believes the request is consistent with the text of the land development plan, and therefore generally within the public interest in encouraging a reasonable use of the property.”

Ms. Paula Lineberry, Chief of Piedmont Triad Ambulance and Rescue presented comments in support of the request. Additionally, Mr. Lewis Schirloff, Deputy Director of Randolph County Emergency Medical Services, presented comments in support of the requested rezoning. There being no further comments nor opposition from the public, Mayor Jarrell closed the public hearing.

Upon motion by Mr. Baker and seconded by Mr. Crisco, Council voted unanimously to adopt the recommendation of the Planning Board and placed the above-described property in an O&I Office and Institutional zoning district.

(c) RZ-07-33: Request to rezone from R-10/B-2 (Medium-Density Residential and General Business) to R-10 (Medium-Density Residential). The property of Ruth Hinshaw is located at 2138 North Fayetteville Street consisting of approximately 8.628 acres of land. (a portion?) Randolph County Parcel Identification Number 7763122694 more specifically describes the property.

Mayor Jarrell opened the public hearing on the following request. Mr. Neely presented the staff’s analysis of the request by Ms. Golda “Ruth” Hinshaw Wilson to rezone a portion of the above-described property from R-10/B-2 Medium-Density Residential and General Business to R-10 Medium-Density Residential. The Planning Department Staff and the Planning Board recommended approval of the request based on the following:

“The land development plan map indicates that a small portion of this property along North Fayetteville Street is commercial. However, the intent of the land development plan as indicated by the text is to accommodate existing strip commercial development and limit the expansion of strip commercial development. Commercial development serving surrounding high-density residential land uses is accommodated by the land development plan in this area and by the current commercial zoning of parcels in the vicinity. Therefore, rezoning the portion of the property that is currently zoned B-2 to R-10 complies with the text and goals of the land development plan and is generally within the public interest in encouraging a reasonable use of property.”

The son-in-law of the applicant presented comments in support of the requested rezoning.

Mr. Jeff Harmon, Pastor of Bible Truth Baptist Church presented comments in support of the request. Additionally, Mr. Jason Greg, a member of Bible Truth Baptist Church presented comments in support of the requested rezoning.

(a) Mayor’s report on Dave’s Mountain/Cedar Creek Annexation.

During the city’s strategic planning process, certain areas were identified as potential areas of annexation, specifically including, but not limited to the Dave’s Mountain and Cedar Creek areas.

Mayor Jarrell reported that the city has received a preliminary project cost estimate and a proposed project schedule from The Wooten Company for the proposed annexation of the Dave’s Mountain and Cedar Creek areas. When completed, the city will receive and make available for public inspection the Preliminary Engineering Report that is to be prepared by The Wooten Company. The city has currently approved approximately $1,075,900 for the project and appropriated this approved amount as follows: Annexation Boundary Survey $110,000 Survey/Engineering Design Plans and Bid Documents $427,000 Geotechnical Investigation & Quality Control $100,000 Construction Administration $75,000 Easement Survey and Mapping $71,500 Legal Services $62,400 Easement Acquisition $230,000 The overall budget for this annexation project is approximately $8.7 million. When anticipated costs and revenues associated with this annexation project are analyzed, the most conservative payback period is approximately 16.11 years. The city will hold an informational workshop for the Cedar Creek area on Monday, November 19, 2007 and for the Dave’s Mountain area on Tuesday, November 20, 2007. These informational workshops will be held in the Sunset Theater at 7:00 p.m.
